Recent highlights of Electroweak and QCD studies with the ATLAS detector

The ATLAS Collaboration has carried out a set of measurements at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV which provide stringent tests of the Standard Model. This paper summarizes the latest analysis on QCD and Electroweak. New measurements of the inelastic cross section in pp collisions and the properties of minimum bias interactions are presented. The production cross sections for inclusive jets, $b$-jets and photons are obtained with the ATLAS detector and are compared to the expectations based on the next-to-leading order QCD calculations. Electroweak sector of the Standard Model measurements include inclusive and differential cross sections for the production of two heavy gauge bosons ($WZ$, $ZZ$) in the leptonic or semileptonic decay channels and the search for the production of the $Z$ boson in association with one or two photons.
